6 Package of TBM Slurry Separation Plant for South Korea

GN Solids control delivered 6 packages of TBM Slurry Separation Plants to a major infrastructure project in South Korea. Specifically engineered for slurry balance TBM applications, these systems offer high-efficiency processing capacities of 500 m³/h and 750 m³/h.


To meet the rigorous demands of Korean shield tunneling projects, each plant integrates a three-stage core treatment process: a scalping shaker for coarse solids separation, followed by desander and desilter modules for fine particle control. The entire system utilizes a modular design, which ensures a compact footprint, facilitates easy assembly and disassembly on-site, and significantly reduces logistics costs. Our professional separation technology guarantees stable performance and high-quality slurry recovery, ensuring the smooth progress of tunneling operations.


The 6 units of TBM slurry separation plant including 4 sets of GNTBM-500B TBM slurry separation plant and 2 sets of GNTBM-360B TBM slurry separation plant and 6 sets of extra mud tanks, the technical configuration is as below:
GNTBM-360B TBM slurry separation plant, treating capacity 360m3/h, cut point 25~50 microns, one unit of coarse shaker installed slopped opening polyurethane screens, to remove large cuttings and gravel to protect downstream pumps and equipment. installed 2ea of 16 inch desander cone and 10ea of 6 inch desilter cone, 2ea of 75KW centrifugal pump as feeding pump of the desander cone and desilter cone.


GNTBM-500B TBM slurry separation plant, treating capacity 500m3/h, cut point 15~30 microns, one unit of coarse shaker installed slopped opening polyurethane screens, installed 2ea of 20 inch desander cone and 14ea of 6 inch desilter cone, 2ea of 90KW centrifugal pump as feeding pump of the desander cone and desilter cone.

Drilling Mud Centrifugal Pump and Shear Pump for Europe Client

One batch of drilling mud centrifugal pump and shear pump are ready for delivery to Europe client.


Common Applications of centrifugal pumps on a Drilling Rig:

1.Feeding Solids Control Equipments: it works as feeding pump of desander cone and desilter cone
2.Mud Mixing and Agitation: Transferring drilling mud from a storage tank to a mixing hopper to add new bentonite or chemicals, or circulating mud in a pit to prevent settling.
3.Supercharging: Acting as a “charge pump” for the main triplex mud pumps. It provides a positive pressure at the suction of the main pump, preventing cavitation (a major cause of damage) and improving the main pump’s efficiency, especially when pumping dense muds.
4.Transfer and Loading: Moving mud from one tank to another or loading/unloading mud from supply boats or trucks.
Key Operational Considerations of the centrifugal pump:
• Proper Priming: The pump must always be flooded (full of liquid) before start-up. Running it dry will destroy the mechanical seal almost instantly.
• Wear Monitoring: Operators must regularly monitor the pump’s discharge pressure. A drop in pressure indicates that the impeller and/or volute liner are wearing down and need replacement.
• Cavitation Prevention: A “gurgling” sound and erratic pressure indicate cavitation, which is caused by a restricted suction (e.g., a clogged strainer or closed valve). This must be corrected immediately.


The features of GN shear pump:
1. It significantly enhance the hydration of moving soil particles
2. The shearing pump can provide shear efficiency accelerating the dilution and hydration of polymers.
3. It can make polymer shear dilution and hydration as soon as possible.
4. It can provide high discharge and head of delivery, which can meet the requirement of preparing and treatment of the drilling mud.

Mud Agitator and Centrifugal Pumps for Overseas Workover Drilling Rig

One batch of mud agitator and centrifugal pumps are ready for delivery for overseas workover drilling rig.
The mud agitator is coupler connection type, the gearbox and explosion proof motor is connected by coupler. The features of the GN E version mud agitator:


1. Helical bevel type heavy duty gearbox for reliable operation, good performance and longer working life.
2. The tooth surface coincidence degree of the helical bevel gearbox is bigger, it reduces the load if each pair of gears and improve the bearing capacity of the gears.
3. The explosion proof motor is installed horizontally for easier installation and maintenance, also the client can install their own explosion proof motor if required.
4. Stirring intensity is high, the sweeping area is wide, it can improve the agitating performance of the drilling fluids
The centrifugal pump is the supporting equipment for oilfield industry, mining and construction industry, it can be applied to transfer corrosive drilling fluids, construction slurry and other mud. In the solids control system and mud circulation system, it can be used as trip pump, desander feeding pump, desilter feeding pump, mud pump charging pump, mixing pump and transfer pump.
Features of GN centrifugal pump including:


1. All the spare and wear parts are interchangeable with world famous brand centrifugal pump, the client can use their inventory parts for GN centrifugal pump.
2. The pump casing is made of wear resistant alloy ductile iron, which extent the working life of the pump casing, with better wear resistance.
3. The impeller is made of wear resistant alloy ductile iron for longer working life, and the open impeller design reduce the bearing capacity of the shaft and extent the bearing service life.
